I know, I have been rahther MIA lately, friends. I blame busy-ness. Between moving, amping up the wedding planning (weee!) and having buddies in town (yay!), September has been a complete blur.
So, to get back into blogging, what better way than to cover another blog?
My dear buddy AT, author of La Cucina Francesca, recently posted about a dish I made. She does a lovely cooking blog (and wowed us all on July 4th with an America Cake).
The FI often questions my cooking abilities, mainly because I rarely use them. Now that we have a larger kitchen, I may start (he suggested I try to cook once a week. Not looking likely this week due to short-staffedness at the shop, but perhaps next time). Anyway, my favorite part is the photo of me, unseeding a poblano pepper. Wearing my sunglasses. Indoors.
You see, dear friends, it has been a while since I chopped an onion. B chops them all the time, but apparently I am too far away for them to have any effect. Not so when I chop them - my eyes burned like a mofo. I kept squinting and closing them and battling it out with the onion until I had a genius thought:
Sunglasses.
Threw on the sunnies and voila, burning sensation gone (or at least much milder than before). I totes recommend sunglasses for cooking eye protection when you're in a bind and tearing up.
And now I am on AT's blog and famous in my own right. Yay!
